1 TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1998 LOS ANGELES TIMES Assemblyman Baugh's Trial Scheduled to Begin in June From a Times staff writer SANTA ANA -A Superior Court judge Monday tentatively set a June 8 trial date for Assemblyman Scott R. Baugh (R- Huntington Beach), who faces charges he falsified campaign reports during his first campaign for office. Baugh pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Monday morning to two felony perjury counts and 10 misdemeanor violations of the Campaign Reform Act stemming from the 1995 special election, which gave Republicans control of the state Assembly for the first time in 20 years. Judge Francisco Briseno scheduled motions in the case for March 30. Baugh's lawyer said he will ask that the charges be dismissed.
Baugh, 35, has acknowledged mistakes were made by his campaign, but has insisted that he broke no laws because he relied on the advice of others and acted in good faith. Prosecutors allege that Baugh lied on campaign reports to conceal his alleged role in a Republican scheme to split the Democratic vote by placing a decoy Democrat on the ballot in the election to recall and replace Republican Assemblywoman Doris Allen, whom Democrats had installed as speaker of Assembly.

SPEAKER: L.A.'s Villaraigosa to Lead Assembly Continued from A3 organizer for labor unions, as well as an activist for other liberal causes.
Villaraigosa served as president of the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California in 1993 and still sits on the organization's board of directors. Saying he did so as a young idealist, he went on a group tour to Cuba in 1977, only to return disillusioned with Fidel Castro's communist rule. Of his progressive views, Villaraigosa said, "I believe in justice. I've fought my whole life for it." But he said he understands that Republicans "get elected too" and that, as a leader, he must -and already has -befriended many in the Assembly's GOP ranks. "This is a diverse state, where the vital center is moderate, and I'm going to have to respect that," he said.
Villaraigosa said he hopes to steer Assembly lawmaking toward improving education, health care and the environment, helping businesses create more jobs and providing alternatives to gangs and crime for the state's youth. Conservative GOP Assembly Leader Bill Leonard of San Bernardino on Monday wished Villaraigosa "a successful, even if very short, speakership," referring to GOP hopes that the Democrats will lose their Assembly majority in the November elections this year. Meanwhile, Leonard said that, though he disagrees with Villaraigosa philosophically, he has "begun a working relationship with him." Villaraigosa arrived in Sacramento in 1994, winning in his first try for elective office. But bitter political rivalries that divide Los Angeles Latinos came into play in the Democratic primary for the 45th Assembly District that year -and brought to light a violent encounter in Villaraigosa's past. His Democratic opponent charged that Villaraigosa, during his college years, had been arrested for felony assault.
The charge stemmed from a brawl in a Los Angeles restaurant in which Villaraigosa said he was defending his mother. The felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor, which was erased from his record when a jury failed to convict him. Nevertheless, critics have raised the incident throughout Villaraigosa's brief political career. The rivalry among Latinos that marked Villaraigosa's first election battle has subsided, said state Sen. Richard G.
Polanco (D-Los Angeles), who then opposed Villaraigosa but now counts him as a friend. "I support him Polanco said. Villaraigosa has two children, ages 8 and 4, from his marriage to Corina Villaraigosa, a schoolteacher, and two grown daughters from a previous relationship. The name Villaraigosa is a composite of Villar, Antonio's former last name, and Raigosa, his wife's maiden name.

Ryan 1-800-528-4637 Ext. 77241 or Ext.77242 Los Angeles Times from Los Angeles since Democrat Bob Moretti held the post from 1971 to 1974, Villaraigosa will make all-important committee assignments, control the fate of legislation and wield the power of punishment and reward over fellow members. As an electionspeaker, he will assume the task of directing campaign funds in an effort by Democrats to retain their Assembly majority. Villaraigosa's new power could allow him to secure better financial deals for inner-city schools, which have come up short when state bond funds were distributed in the past. He could campaign for better tools to prevent youth crime -an issue close to his heart because of his background.
On Monday, however, Villaraigosa was holding off on any lavish promises for Los Angeles. He pledged that schools there will "get their fair share" of state resources. But he said he holds a "responsibility to do what's fair for the whole state" even though "on balance it's better for Los Angeles County to have a speaker than not." Obituaries appear on B8.
